The fact that many bianconeri have a passion for golf is no news: many times Del Piero and friends relax in the midst of bunkers and fairways, even during the training camps, taking advantage of the rare moments of rest.

Today they combined the useful with the fun bit, putting their clubs to a good cause at the exclusive course of the Royal Park Golf & Country Club I Roveri, in Venaria Reale where a golf tournament took place in favour of the Fondazione Piemontese per la Ricerca sul Cancro (cancer research foundation).

Camoranesi, Del Piero and Nedved played against some of the greatest golf enthusiasts of Turin in doubles on 18 holes. The event also saw the participation of Francesco Molinari, who in 2006 was the first Italian golfer to win the Italian Open in 26 years. For enthusiasts such as Alex, Mauro and Pavel, this was a great occasion to learn a few secrets from a champion on the green.
